In their ham-fisted zeal to prevent the Moreland Commission from poking around in anything that could “reflect poorly” on the governor, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and his staff have managed to do just that. And worse. The stated promise to restore trust and integrity to Albany is, once again, shown to be little more than a public relations stunt.

Presumably, we can look forward to even more indictments of New York politicians and their staffers as the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York now picks up, and expands, the job the Moreland Commission should have been allowed to do in the first place.
